the North-west is a high Mountaine with three little rising Hills on 
the top of it, wherefore it is called Tramount. From the top of this 
Mountaine a man may over-looke all the Ilands which lie before the 
Bay, and discry such ships as are upon the Sea-coast.” 
These elevations were Fort Hill, formerly about eighty feet high; 
but entirely removed between 1869 and 1873, so that its site is now 
only twenty-five feet above low tide; Copp’s Hill, fifty-eight feet high ; 
and Beacon Hill, which was originally about one hundred and thirty- 
eight feet high, but is now one hundred and five. These heights, with 
those which follow, are stated in feet above mean low tide. 
Charlestown has two lenticular hills: Breed’s, on which the Monu- 
ment stands, 62; and the true Bunker Hill, a third of a mile north- 
west, 110. 
In East Boston are Eagle Hill, 120: one a mile north-east from 
last, at east side of railroad, about 75; Breed’s Island Hill, 165; and 
one a fourth of a mile southeast from Bt, about 50.

ating at the east in Winthrop Head, about 90; Grover’s Cliff, about 
60; one-fourth mile south-west, about 90; one-fourth mile farther

The highest elevations of Ganbrdee appear to be made of the 
same eee as the lenticular hills, but are too humble to be good 
types of this class. They are Washington Avenue Hill, 86; Reser- 
voir Hill, 81; Observatory nae 80; Dana Hill, 62; highest nee of 
East Cambridge, 55.
